St. Paul's (Episcopal) Chapel (Broadway at City Hall Park) was the "uptown" extension of Trinity Church. Since Trinity was burned during the war and had not been rebulit by the time of Washington's inauguration, St. Paul's was where he attended Mass and you can still see the pew he and Martha sat in. The first Presidential Seal remains over the pew. Amazing site.

I visited there a few months ago and was impressed. It's miraculous that the building survived the WTC collapse. The church was used during the WTC recovery effort as a place for rescue workers to rest both physically and mentally.

Indeed.

It is ironic that the fire in 1776 stopped just short of the Chapel after burning Trinity and the WTC (just down the hill) did not touch it. It's fence became a posting place for photos and cards from all over the country during the post-WTC days.
